RE: The tariff classification of an antifreeze tester from
Taiwan
Dear Mr. Marchetti:
In your letter dated December 18, 1990 you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The item is an antifreeze tester that is permanently
installed in a heater hose in the engine compartment of a car to
display the antifreeze protection level. It also acts as a
radiator back-flushing tee.
The applicable subheading for the antifreeze tester will be
9025.80.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for hydrometers and similar floating
instruments, whether or not incorporating a thermometer, non-
recording. The rate of duty will be 8.4 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
